Dubai Chambers has held a series of high-level engagements with key trade and economic institutions in Ghana. The meetings were aimed at strengthening bilateral trade, investment cooperation, and private-sector partnerships between Dubai and Ghana.
The engagements took place in Accra and formed part of a broader trade mission led by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce to Ghana and Ethiopia. The mission is focused on identifying new economic opportunities and supporting Dubai-based companies seeking to expand into African markets.
The delegation was led by Salem AlShamsi, Executive Vice President of International Relations at Dubai Chambers.
Dubai Chambers held discussions with the Ghana National Chamber of Commerce and Industry, led by President Stéphane Miezan.
The meeting focused on strengthening cooperation between business communities in Dubai and Ghana. Both sides discussed expanding bilateral trade and identifying joint investment opportunities across priority sectors of their economies.
The discussions also addressed the need to build sustainable economic partnerships that can support stronger and more consistent trade flows between both markets.
The delegation also met the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, led by Chief Executive Officer Simon Madjie.
The meeting explored opportunities for cooperation across key economic sectors in both Ghana and Dubai. It also highlighted the investment advantages available to companies and investors operating in both markets.
Both parties also discussed ways to strengthen investment flows and deepen private-sector participation to support long-term economic growth.
Engagement with importers and exporters
A separate meeting was held with the Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana, represented by Executive Secretary Asaki Awingobit.
The discussions focused on improving business cooperation between companies in both regions. They also explored ways to strengthen direct communication between traders and open new channels for trade and investment partnerships.
The engagements reflect Dubai Chambers’ growing interest in Ghana as a strategic entry point into West Africa’s trade and investment landscape. They also form part of Dubai’s wider strategy to expand its global business footprint in emerging markets.
For Ghana, the discussions present potential opportunities in export expansion, logistics partnerships, investment inflows, and stronger business-to-business collaboration with Dubai-based companies.
However, the real impact will depend on whether the engagements lead to concrete deals and long-term private-sector partnerships beyond official visits and trade missions.
